I can't manage to display unicode characters in VB.NET.I'm doing this in C#:
string myString = "u03A3"; //upper case sigma (sum)
But it doesn't work in VB and I can't find a way to make it work.
Is there any easy way of converting a windows-1252 string into a Unicode one?
View 1 RepliesI have developed an application and need to allow users to enter text in any language and save it to my database. However the text is saved as '?' in my database. I have googled quite a bit and found that people have suggested not to use varchar, text types but use nvarchar and ntext etc in your database. I have gone through and made these changes to my database. However it still saved text as '?', I then found people where saying about adding 'N' infront of the text prior to saving into the database. The problem is that I cannot figure out how to do this in a stored procedure.
Stored Procedure
Code:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[spUpdateActionTaken] @ID as varChar(4),@action as text,@modifyDate as varchar(50)
AS
UPDATE commentsTbl SET commActionTaken=@action,modifyDate=@modifyDate WHERE [ID]=@ID
Note: Fields commActionTaken set to nText
VB.Net Code
Code:
Dim actionTaken as String = Me.textBox.Text
Dim myCmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand("spUpdateActionTaken")
myCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure

I made a batch script using VB.NET which deletes shortcut on my desktop. The problem is that shortcut title contains unicode characters so batch doesn't work. However if I remove that unicode character from the shortcut and batch script it does delete the shortcut. How can I make it delete the shortcut w/o removing that unicode character?
tempstring = "@echo off"
tempstring = tempstring & vbCrLf & "del " & Chr(34) & My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop & "My shortcut™ 1.lnk" & Chr(34)
tempstring = tempstring & vbCrLf & "del %0"

View 1 RepliesHow do I Extract all Characters in Unicode, UFT8,iso-8859-1 to 9 etc to a list or array In VB?I have a SQL Database of which contains values from 51 languages. I need to detect which ISO-8859-? Was used to encode the string value. For example Turkish Characters i.e. "Ö Ş ş ğ ü Ç" Once I have the correct ISO, I need to convert the Chars with-in the string to Unicode using only if the string value contains values that are not UFT7, and convert the string to HEX?The reason I need to detect the ISO etc is because we are sending SMS, of which jump from 160 characters to 70 if a special characters are used, i.e. "Ö Ş ş ğ ü Ç" Is there a simple way to extract the ISO-8859 Character Set to a Array etc, or is there a simple way to check if the character exists with a ISO-8859 data set?

The Form where it will auto capitalize letters, remove or deny all non alphanumeric characters except dashes every 5 characters that will be auto-input.I assume this can be done with a fairly complicated replacement Regular Expression but I cannot seem to create one to fit the needs.
This is an Example of what I have right now, but it creates an infinite loop as it removes all characters including dashes, than adds a dash, which changes the text and removes the dash again.

View 3 RepliesI need to create a console program that allows you to enter a string, of which is then outputted in reverse.
Sample:
Input: Diewas
Output: saweiD
Apparently I need to find out about strings and will also need to use a loop.
Not sure if too many people know this, but the following line will cause an error:
GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_"
....if the length of GroupName is less than 3 characters. I always thought it would simply return whatever characters in GroupName, but no, it errors. I must be thinking of the old VB6 days.So, I now have to change the code to:
If (GroupName.Length > 2) Then
If (GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_") Then
Note that the two comparisons need to be on separate lines. If they are on the same line, such as:
If (GroupName.Length > 2) and (GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_") Then then the code will still fail as the length command is executed at the same time as the substring command- which will cause the error when the GroupName length is less than 3.Just thought that those of us not aware of this should be!

I have two textboxes. I type in one of them and the text gets copied in real time into another textbox. There is one catch. I need to replace specific character with something else.
If I enter a quote " in textbox1, it has to be replaced with " in textbox2.
I started with something like the below code, but obviously this does not work (tried different stuff - this is for demonstration only). In the example below 'a' represents " , and 'b' represents "
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyUp(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyUp
TextBox2.Text = TextBox1.Text

With the shape of really large characters such as numbers and alphabetic characters + others, is there a way to get that shape as a REGION please?Imagine a really fat snake forming the letter S or two rectangles placed together to form a large letter L or a T like the shapes in TETRIS.
1) Does anyone know of anything in VB.Net that can translate such shapes into a System. Drawing.Region or know of a project elsewhere that achieves this please?
2) While I'm on the subject, how would you SCALE UP / DOWN a System.Drawing.Region please? How would you work out the Transform Matrix required please?

I'm making a custom control suited for handling passwords. I have created a control that inherits from a text box and I have implemented a lot of things so far. But what i want to do now is create a system so that when a user types It will display his last character typed for a X amount of time. Is there a way to turn only selected characters into password characters and still be able to get the password text from the Text property ?

View 8 RepliesSo I have an ASP.Net (vb.net) application. It has a textbox and the user is pasting text from Microsoft Word into it. So things like the long dash (charcode 150) are coming through as input. Other examples would be the smart quotes or accented characters. In my app I'm encoding them in xml and passing that to the database as an xml parameter to a sql stored procedure. It gets inserted in the database just as the user entered it.
The problem is the app that reads this data doesn't like these characters. So I need to translate them into the lower ascii (7bit I think) character set. How do I do that? How do I determine what encoding they are in so I can do something like the following. And would just requesting the ASCII equivalent translate them intelligently or do I have to write some code for that?
Also maybe it might be easier to solve this problem in the web page to begin with. When you copy the selection of characters from Word it puts several formats in the clipboard. The straight text one is the one I want. Is there a way to have the html textbox get that text when the user pastes into it? Do I have to set the encoding of the web page somehow?

How can I Convert a Unicode value to its equivalent string for example i have "రమెశ్" and i need a function that accepts this unicode value and returns a string I was looking at the System.Text.Encoding.Convert() function but that does not take in a Unicode value, it takes 2 encodings and a byte array. I bascially have a byte array that I need to save in a string field and then come back later and convert the string first back to a byte array. So i use ByteConverter.GetString(byteArray) to save the byte array to a string but can't get it back to a byte array.

that could be called like:
SomeClass.isCharInClass("a", "Lo");
I am trying to convert text inputed in a text box to unicode. I need to the program to process each letter and return "the letter = the unicode" in the label.

I know the AscW command will return the Unicode Integer but I only know how to do the conversion for single letters
The code below only processes the first letter and only returns the code, not "the letter = the code"
